Exactly what kind of threats are we talking about here?

I think she was pertaining to the Pix and Videos that HER daughter sent through email. Also, putting our names (including my sister in laws and all their relatives) on watchlist or surveillance. Banning us from entering the country (Philippines). Mentioning also that they know my sister in laws addresses in the US and sending someone to track us down . etc. etc. |

It would seem quite unlikely they have that kind of influence in terms of banning you from the country etc. Other than a restraining order and changing your contact info I'm not sure if there IS anything more you can do.

Hello. My situation is a little complicated. I used to live in WA state and move here to CA in dec. 2006. In 2005, I found out that my husband was having an affair to this woman he met online who's living in the philippines. I was able to talk to her to leave us alone but she still kept the relationship going. My husband visited the philippines for 2 weeks early 2006 and found out they did had a sexual relationship then. when I moved to CA late 2006, my husband followed and thought everything was over. In mid 2008, I found some texts, emails and indecent picturesof her sent to my husband. I again confronted her and told her I would post the pictures online if she wont stop. She had the guts to scream at me and object to stopping the relationship after my husband already decide to stop it. Now that its 2009, the texts, emails wont stop and I posted the pix and videos online but took them down eventually as promised. I will be moving back to my husband in WA next month to try to work our relationship. Her family threatened my husband about the online pictures that SHE made and sent herself through email. It already got out of hand that the mother left a threatening voicemail to his sister. My question is, can I sue her for criminal conversation at least or with alienation of affection? Are there anything else I can use against her???
Please advise. Thanks!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? | So you blackmailed her which is a crime -- felony actually. Which since it was international could open you up to federal charges. Oh okay.

Oh okay. | 5 years of hardship is too much for my family to take especially with my children around. I only gotta do what I gotta do. and YES I would do it again if she still bothers us. Let's get this straight. I DID NOT GET THE PICTURES but my husband willingly showed them because as far as he's concerned, ITS OVER and she wont stop. It was already his property when she emailed those to him. again, I have all proof - emails and texts. |

I believe tan is the current uniform color in federal prison. At least it's not orange, orange is so unflattering. |

Even if you think you had a good reason... the moment you threatened to publish photos that you had no right to have, you committed several federal crimes.
I would let it go.

Oh okay. | Doesn't blackmail require a monetary element? Otherwise, anytime that someone would threaten to call the police if someone doesn't stop harassing them (for example) would be blackmail...or threaten to sue someone etc...
She was as stupid as heck to post the pictures online...and I am sure that she probably violated some laws doing it, but does it really rise to blackmail?

OP, please don't misunderstand - whether or not your husband owns or owned these photographs neither you NOR him (had he felt that way inclined) had a right to publish them anywhere without her permission.
But honestly? Let it go. Surely this isn't worth your family being in such turmoil? Nobody can hurt you like this unless you give them that power.
Don't become the "bad guy" in this. It's NOT worth it.
